her pupils at work on different snbia.,.,
embracing portrait, Landscape, f3yaS.,

the time they have been toI,ir-

which speaks well for the teacher NJ
Manor has thirty-six pupils, the maiority
OF whom are young ladies. She teacha.
from 10 a. m. till p. M, therefore sbl
has but very little time to devote r
painting; but what time She !.
not occupied with her pupils she certain.
ly makes good use. We were sbnwr
| several specimens OF her work, which ara
very fine, and embrace quite variet,
OF subjects. which would lead q narSor :,
think that Mrs. Manor could paint aInost
anything she wished to try. One Of bor
best pieces is portrait OF the Rev r n
Lift. This is clever piece of Worl, a,,j
any person who has ever seen the ,,an0
fireman would at once recognize 5in1
She has portrait OF a lady, whose naraa
we have forgotten, which is equally As
welt executed AS the one above, IT,.
lady certainly exhibits considerable Val.
ent in portraiture. She is ajso
quite skillful in flower PAINTING
and decorating; she has several
PLAQUES and panels upon which
are painted flowers OF various kinds
some of them are exceedingly we'll done
and make very pretty ornaments.
clever piece of work representing a box
sitting on table is one of her best; there
is pin lying on the table and has been
painted so true to nature that it has the
appearance of being placed there after the
painting was finished
Some of her pupils are doing good
work; we were shown a portrait and
some small landscapes painted by Miss
Leah Paul, they are fine specimens and
the young lady is deserving of much
praise in her efforts.
"Steinbach Falls" Switzerland, is from
the brush of Miss Paul, and is a
very pretty painting; in the dis
lance is range OF mountains
which has been we'll painted with atmo5-
pherlc effect; on each side of the fall is a
clump of trees, towering up into the sky;
the foliage and branches have been well
handled, and show considerable skill.
The most striking feature in the picture
is the waterfall, leaping over high
preclpice into a chasm below, and is
painted so true to nature that person
almost ima2ines that he hears the roar
OF the water. In the foreground are some
colored rocks and brush, making a good
contrast to the white spray from the fall
ing water.
a harvest scene and some decorating
work from the brush of the Misses Arm
strong, also pupils, are qnite praise
worthy, especially the former. which
represents field OF grain partly cut. the
'heaves look very natural and the foliage
md other parts are equally as we'll
handled. We were shown specimens
rom several other pupils, all OF which
exhibit considerable talent, showing that
hrs. Manor is an efficient teacher and
las worked faithfully with her pupils.
ALFRED LAMBoURNE.
Probably this young gentleman is pct
er known to the public than any other
Irtist in Utah Territory having devoted
lis whole time, during the past fifteen
ears in the interests of art. lie has
raVeled extensively, studied hard, and
hese, combined with his natural abili-
les well adapt him for his chosen pro-
ession. Mr.. Lambourne has recently
pened studio in the Jennings Block,
nd is occupied in teaching and paint
10 -
With sketches, taken by the artist, rep
esenting scenes in the Yellowstone Park,
Yosemite Valley, Southern California and
numerous other places. He has about
twenty-five choice paintings on hand all
legantly mounted. Probably the most
ttractive of any of his recent works is a
air, Summer in the Wasatch" and
Autumn in the Wasatch." The former
epresents glimpse of Lake Mary; it is
beautiful picture and one of the best
lr. Lambourne has ever painted. In
ne distance are some lofty peaks which
ave been carefully painted and look
cry natural. At their bases is q grove Of
ines partly hidden in mist which makes
fine contrast to the dark, lofty pines in
lie foreground. The granite cliffs sur
'undlng the lake form a conspicuous
art of the picture and are true
nature. The water has a wonderful
ansparency characteristic OF our noun
in lakes; the huge boulders in the fore
ond, and the foliage throughout, have
ZEN handled with skill 'fAntumn in
e Wasatch," taken from one OF the
YIN lakes, Big Cottonwood, is fine pie
re and makes a good companion for
lake Mary" This beautiful sheet of
lter Is situated about three-quarters of
mile from Brighton's by the side of the
al leading over to Alta. To the right
the foreground is high pine tree Mr..
is noted for painting pine
'es, and in this one he has exhibited
nslderable skill. The water looks

rocks and trees are true
